21km, 10km and 5km  

The Slave Route Challenge is more than a race—it’s a journey through Cape Town’s rich history and vibrant culture. Starting at City Hall, the route winds through District Six, Bo-Kaap, the Castle of Good Hope, and other iconic landmarks before finishing on the Grand Parade.  

Run or walk through the city’s past, passing historic sites that tell the story of resilience and heritage. And for a sweet reward? A traditional Cape Malay koesister in the Bo-Kaap, courtesy of Spice Mecca.

Join us in honouring history, celebrating diversity, and embracing Cape Town’s spirit!

This event is proudly brought to you in association with the City of Cape Town, Peninsula Beverages and broadcast partner, Smile FM.
